Old?

[Coinstriking Michigan]

Hey all, I found this yesterday when I found the nickels. Seems a lot older than the usual bullets that we find. Anyone familiar with this style or caliber? Thanks -Jay

Sure looks CW era.....Can you measure bullet diameter. Harder to say without knowing. 52, 54, 58 to close to eyeball in pic. Looks solid but hard to tell if cavity in base of bullet as well.

I don't have anything to measure it with...the base of it is solid...no cavity going up inside.

looks like a 58 cw era bullet if so then that is a awesome find considering the area

 

[Coinstriking Michigan]

That would be sweet.

you can see rifling marks on it. looks to me to be a fairly modern .38 cal

Guessing 54 cal. Or larger, age?a couple decades ,guessing here. You sure have history your way, but conicals associated rare.hope you get better dating. How far south to water?.

If you have a tape measure, measure it to the 16th's that will get you close enough to give a caliber. looks modern to me...............HH
